Ok, how about this: There is nothing wrong with the idea, and .prn is a fine extension if they want to use that. Upon first viewing, it made me laugh. That's all I meant. Jon Sagara There is no spoon.

When will the US government realize that the Internet is not an American entitiy and thusly is not subject to their out-dated, Victorial beliefs? http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/internet/04/17/surveillance.reut/index.html Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Please note that the opinions expressed in this correspondence do not necessarily reflect the views of the author.
The trouble with freedom is that it usually ends up being exploited as "freedom to do evil". Here in Canada we had a case of a man who was caught with pornographic stories he had written on his computer depicting kidnap, and graphic sexual torture of children. He was acquitted on the grounds that his work had "inherent artistic merit", and that he had freedom to write whatever he wanted to in the privacy of his own home. I'm all for freedom, but where do you draw the line? What happens if this same guy really does kidnap and sexually torture a young boy? Would that be consider "performance art" by the liberals of society? Once again the protection of the rights of criminals has outweighed the protection of society. :mad: Anyway, just another frustrated kevnar rant. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

That would just point to David's Rant and Rave posts. :) Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Just to let you know, I'm an American. And yes, without DARPA, the internet probably wouldn't exist. But, it is now an international entity and should be governed by an international organization. Jason Gerard
Jason Gerard wrote: But, it is now an international entity and should be governed by an international organization. So what you are saying is that any time the rest of the world starts to use something we create, we then have to live by the rules they create? I'm sorry but that is not how our country works. I'm not saying that we should be able to enforce our laws onto a .uk or .au domain, and I don't think that anyone in the US has tried this. There is no way in hell I would ever want to be told what to do by some 'international organization' on any subject. Do you really want the UN or the EU to start making laws that affect your life? The federal government already has too much power as it is, most matters should be delt with by the states. It is a sad day to see Americans so ready to take their rights and throw them to some globalized government to do with as they please. -Jack To an optimist the glass is half full.

Tom Archer wrote: This is not true. So far, almost all judgements in Internet-related cases have been decided with the laws that govern where the server is. I was expresing my opinion on the cases you mentioned, sorry for not making it clear. And, I was talking about the US citizen not the server. The server operator shall abide by the laws governing his country, but the US citizen shall abide by US law. Where there are conflicts between legislations and the US citizen decides to go against US law, he must renounce to his citizenship or face the potential consecuences. Again, this is my opinion and I'm not a lawyer, so I may be completly wrong regarding US and foreign law conflicts for the US point of view.

Checkout GUIDGen.NETI'm not sure a US citizen is bound by US law after leaving his country. It is law in America to drive on the right-hand side of the road, but if he were in England he would be breaking the law and could potentially harm people by driving on the right. I believe people should try to act within the laws of the society they're in since ignoring those laws could damage that society. Kevin
